Looking for a Truly Unique Name for an Interior Design Firm

Looking for a Truly Unique Name for an Interior Design Firm

My elder brother is planning to start his own interior design firm. He has years of experience in interior work and now wants to build his own brand, with the possibility of going global in the future.

The biggest problem right now is finding a unique and meaningful name. 😅

Almost every name we come up with already exists somewhere on Google, Instagram, or as a company/brand.

Can anyone suggest some fresh, original, two-word names for an interior design firm that are not commonly used online?

Ideally, the name should:

  • Sound premium and professional
  • Be easy to pronounce
  • Have a meaningful concept behind it
  • Work internationally
  • Be distinctive enough to build a brand around

Would really appreciate some creative suggestions!

How can I mix these styles together?

My house is a 1944 bungalow and kind of farm house style in my opinion but I have a completely different style so I’m trying to match my kitchen w my aesthetic. How can I do this? Other pics in the comments. (We’re in the middle of renovations so my walls look bad rn 😬😆 ignore that)

Looking for corridor / hallway ideas & resources for our condo

We’re in the process of planning our condo lobby and lobby renovation. The building itself is gorgeous, Spanish / Mediterranean inspired with beautiful tile accents - huge windows / terraces - built in 1977. The lobbies and corridors are reminiscent of assisted living / nursing homes and we’re looking for an update to reference the original architecture while creating a timeless design that can last a while. We looked into polished concrete for the hallways, although it’s mainly because it’s likely the cheapest and most unobtrusive solution, but that comes with its own hurdles. One plus is the floor would be ready for the next step later on down the road - whatever that may be. We’re located in South Florida, so moisture / mold is a concern - one of the main reasons we want to steer away from carpet. I’m looking for references, books, etc specifically about multi family common spaces / corridors to keep on hand while we work through the planning process. Also open to any ideas from the community here :) thank you!

What should I do with this room? Second photo in comments

I am currently decorating my home (leased) and I just, as of yesterday, escaped my horrifically abusive marriage. I am trying to make this home feel like mine, feel cozy and welcoming and safe. I want to walk in and be happy to be here because I haven't felt that in so long. Anyways, this room is off the front door.

I don't need an office, I have a living room, guest bedrooms, I just want ideas on what I could do with this room to make it cozy, comfy, fun, but still viewable when people walk in. I'm not a huge drinker or partier so a party related room isn't the best option but I'm not totally against having a small bar area.

I'm currently leaning towards a nook/plant (never grown plants before/cozy area to watch storms or an entertainment room.

Any ideas are more than welcome!! TIA!

I made a mistake

We have this small living space off of our kitchen/dining area (just to the right of this photo is the kitchen, the edge of the rug is about 5 feet from the kitchen island). We don’t want to put the focus on the fireplace because it’s not cute but we can’t get rid of it because it’s a massive chimney on the outside of the house. The tv is on the wall the couch is facing. I bought a sectional picturing just a place that my kids are hanging out while I’m in the kitchen, just a small cozy space. The problem is by default with the proximity to the kitchen, whenever we have people over everyone ends up in the space. Nobody wants to sit on the chaise because it’s awkward so there ends up being not a lot of seats. I’d like to replace the sectional with different seating but can’t figure out what would work/look best. A couch and two chairs? Two smaller couches? Help! I’d like enough seating for our family of six to still be able to hang out and watch a movie together.

Ideas to make wall less boring

Ignore all the clutter from my baby and dog 😅 I have been wanting to put something on the wall for years but have been too indecisive to ever do it.

My main ideas are:

One long floating shelf above the tv in a similar color wood to the tv console.

Or 2 floating shelves on the wall to one side of the tv and a large framed print on one side.

Open to other ideas as well!

Rug Ideas

AI suggested this rug for my living room but it seems a little too monochromatic. Any suggestions for a different rug or colour?

Bathroom help

I don’t want to change the tile, but I also don’t like feeling like I’m walking into a gender reveal party every time I use the bathroom. This is one mock up I’ve done. Any advice?? My style is post modern/mcm

Wood options to combine with orange tone doors and white floors?

We are in the process of buying our first place (yay!), and we're trying to plan how we're going to furnish it. We have some stuff but mainly for the living room, we have to furnish every other room from scratch.

The flat has orange toned doors and built in cabinets in every room, and warm-white terrazo floors. I've been doing my research and I know greens and blues work best with the orange, but I don't want to color drench the entire house. I'd like to include other wood tones but i'm struggling to find any that looks good with the doors since they're SO ORANGE... The previous owner has the same tone for her furniture (as you can see in the picture) but I'd like to avoid that.

Any ideas?

Any ideas on what to do with this foyer

It’s dark and I’d like a more modern look but I’m getting mixed reviews on painting it or leaving it the way it is

How do you choose the right colours for a room?

Choosing colours for a room always seems easier until you actually have to decide what goes on the walls, furniture, and accessories.

Do you prefer sticking with neutral tones and adding colour through decor, or do you like making a bold statement with the walls or furniture?

What's your approach to choosing a colour palette, and have you ever picked a colour that looked completely different once it was actually in the room?

style and financially challenged

I’m needing help designing/decorating my house on a budget. I don’t really have a style but I do like a mix of boho, mcm and eclectic I think ? I would also like some help with where my furniture should go if this current set up doesn’t look good. The only things that really can’t be moved are my couch (will eventually get another sectional, just a high budget item) and the stand with my (new tv and wall mount are also on my list) I also need wall art or decor ideas. The things I need I will have to purchase will have to be bought slowly over time. I would like to make a list of what is needed and prioritize that list on what’s needed most. I do like pink, gold and green a lot and want to incorporate those colors as much as possible. I have some brass and raw wood items as well. I want to make the space natural yet feminine. I downsized plants quite a bit from my previous home because I lost a lot of the space I had before but wouldn’t mind adding more if it’s appropriate for the space. I know I’m all over the place here so any help and guidance are appreciated. It only let me upload one photo so I’m going to try to post the other in the comments.

How would you handle window treatments for this wall?

(Unhung family photo blocked out). I HATE these blinds, so I’d like to cover them up. But I’m not sure how I could do curtains here because it’s the whole wall. I rent, so, while my landlord probably wouldn’t oppose me swapping them out for a more high end shade/blind option, I’d rather not spend the money.

Updated pics

Here’s some pics of the house I took today. The other photo I posted was from a year ago. We’ve been in the middle of other renovations for a while and now I’m starting in my living room.
Living room is VERY small and that’s why I’m stressed about the awkward layout it is approximately 263 sq ft.

FYI I know some of you guys said that everything is mixed match-y, everything other than the small chair and the cabinet with the lamps on it were given to me. I’m wanting to go for a vintage eclectic style.
And we are unable to put the TV on the wall, anywhere we tried to hang it up. It fell out of the wall.

I bought a 1944 home and the layout is very strange in the living room. I have bought a few pieces of furniture so my house can be functional and not look so awkward but I’m not happy with the current layout. Any ideas? The tv is now where all of the pictures were because the tv mount fell out of the wall. And I’m standing where the entry way is
